True crime guys - 2 dudes out of Vegas. Well researched and plenty of episodes, another podcast I'd recommend checking out one of their heavy hitter episodes as an intro (Carl panzram was excellent)

Rebutting a murderer - debunks the Netflix making a murderer series, not currently on Spotify, I found it on podbean

Sword and scale - bit hit and miss, but when he gets it right you get hooked. The way he names his episodes is trash however,. Also theres no interlude when he starts his ad breaks so that can be both jarring/hilarious.

True crime garage - well researched but I drifted off after a few. They cover a lot of unresolved cases which I'm not big on, and his offsider annoys me

Ear hustle - kind of true crime? Deals with life in an American prison system.

Red handed - couple of British women running this one which is a nice change.

Happy face - deals solely with the happy face killer. Narrated by his daughter, it dives into her life growing up with him, and takes a look at his crimes

Casefile - Australian guy narrating, could be good but honestly I haven't been sucked into this like I have others. Can anyone recommend any good episodes by him to listen to?

Special mention.
Behind the bastards - not especially true crime, just an in depth look at bastards of history all the way up to today.

Then there's a few that I've got on my list to check out, haven't listened to these yet so I don't know if they are any good.

Hi everyone! I’m working on creating a survey that assesses interest in and motivational factors for consuming true crime media (books, movies, tv, podcasts, etc) that will be included in a research study. Can anyone help me out and give me some insight on why you like true crime content?

For example, I love true crime content because I enjoy being shocked by the severity of violence some humans enact against others. What about you?

Can We Guess Which State You Live In?

I saw what I believe was a Dateline NBC episode (but could be wrong) about a tragic case in WA state (thinking Port Angeles?), where a young man killed his sister's lover after he blamed him for her accidental overdose on Oxycontin. Does anyone else remember seeing this and/or any of the details? Looking for: names, dates, and a link to the episode, if possible. Think this happened in the early 2000s or so, but again the details are fuzzy for me.

Excellent essay on the anniversary of the murders, plus pictures including "a variety of objects connected with the Gacy case, stored in a cavernous warehouse in Cicero operated by the Cook County clerk's office and in a room at a Cook County sheriff's office facility in Little Village. These objects include jewelry and clothing from Gacy's victims; books, business cards and photographs from Gacy's day-to-day life; and some of the macabre tools of terror he used in committing his crimes."

I love true crime (hence why I'm on this subreddit haha) and I love reading. However, I'm always way too skeptical about picking up true crime novels in bookstores because so many are really inaccurate- cough Dave Cullen cough- or just leave a lot out.

Does anyone here know of any true crime books that are, at least for the most part, solid? I'd love to get a few to read during my Winter break!

I remember being a little kid and seeing this on TV (USA, late 90’s or early 2000s).

A woman, who I believe was Russian or Eastern European, was murdered on Valentine’s day. She was dating multiple men at the time, I believe 5-8 guys. They were all considered suspects and forensic evidence was used to narrow down which one had murdered her, but was ultimately inconclusive. I remember one piece of evidence used was the teeth marks around her nipples and they compared all of the teeth of the various suspects. In the end of the episode, they showed all of the men laying flowers by her grave. I tried googling this and kept getting results for other Valentine’s Day murders.

Not necessarily people who eventually admitted to crimes they didn't commit. I'm just interested in comparing the differences of an innocent man telling the truth and a guilty man lying about a murder.

This would’ve been around the year 2007. I thought it was an episode from one of those docuseries about women in prison, ie Deadly Women or Women Behind Bars, but none of the episode descriptions seem to ring a bell.

This women and her lover (L) plot to kill her husband (H). The wife has L sneak up behind H, who was sitting in a recliner, and beat him over the head with some sort of blunt object. L then transported H’s body in H’s own car to a steep road on some hills. H was placed in the drivers seat, and L pushed the car off the edge of the road. The car crashed into a tree, and L torched the inside of the vehicle. When police later arrived on the scene, they noticed strange splotches of blood on the road leading to the crash site. It later turns out that L had placed H’s brain in a plastic bag, and dabbed the bloodied bag on the road to further stage the scene.
